We went on a cruise with DD1 just before she turned 1. It was fun but exhausting as we spent a lot of time chasing her around the boat. We had lots of fun, especially on the beach day. The child pool was closed & they would not let her in the other pool even with a swim diaper so that was a bummer, especially because she loves the water. we are going on another cruise again this August (DD2 will turn 1 while on cruise & DD1 will be 4 at the end of August).

CCJT1 is accurate about the pools. This is why we chose not to do a cruise this September. We would want to swim & they don't allow babies in pool even with swim diaper, they must be potty trained. Also, spending so much time in the small cabin space (since cruise rooms are so small) didn't sound like fun to us. Instead we have chosen to get a condo at the beach where we can retreat to & it will have a door to separate bedroom so while baby naps or goes to sleep we can stay up & relax enjoy our vacation. I'm sure many ppl do a cruise & make the best of it, we look forward to doing a Disney cruise one day when the kids can enjoy it & we have more freedom to enjoy the activities :) Good luck whatever you choose!

We booked a cruise for next September so ds will be 2 years old. I'm just curious. How will they know if I put him in a swim diaper under his bathing suit? I'm sure some parents use it as a precaution especially in a public pool.
